A tangy-sweet fruit pie combining rhubarb and strawberries in a buttery, flaky crust. Perfect for spring, with a rustic charm and balanced flavor profile.
2 cups all-purpose flour
2/3 cup shortening
1 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons ice cold water
4 cups fresh rhubarb (chopped)
2 cups fresh strawberries (chopped)
1 1/3 cups sugar
7 tablespoons all-purpose flour
In a large bowl, combine flour, shortening, and salt. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add ice water gradually, mixing until dough forms a rough ball. Divide into two, wrap one for chilling.
Sprinkle 1/4 cup of sugar-flour mixture into prepared crust.
Layer chopped rhubarb and strawberries into the crust.
Top with remaining sugar-flour mixture to absorb juices.
Roll out remaining dough and place over fruit. Crimp edges to seal.
Cut 3-4 slits in top crust. Bake at 400°F (200°C) until golden, ~40-45 minutes.
Adjust sugar to taste (reduce to 3/4 cup for tarter results)
Swap rhubarb with apples or gooseberries if preferred
Ensure dough is well wrapped during chilling to prevent drying
